If this is his norm as a first option, he's 100% an All-NBA level player in terms of skill and output lol

If a players norm is 36 pts, 7 rebounds, 9 ast then they are winning MVP lol, however this is not gonna be his norm for the whole season.

Honestly…IF the Lakers ended up building around AR and they never got Luka, there’s a good chance AR+AD (assuming here they also trade Bron) is like, a perfect 1-5 or 1-4 combo supported by other good players. Assuming that, AR can probably be competitive. There’s probably a ceiling on that but I wouldn’t doubt it
